HOW TO REGISTER AND GET APPROVED FOR THE FORUM

1. Follow Directions:
Many accounts are deleted simply because the person registering didn't follow directions during the registration process.

US Users: Put your city and state for your location. Follow instructions and DO NOT put USA, US, United States as your location. Doing so will result in your account being deleted. You can change this information once your account is approved.

Foreign Users: Put your Country and City for your location and also put a reason you would like to register. If you don't put a reason why you want to use the forum, your account will be deleted.

2. Do NOT use your email address as your username
Unless you really want it public and like spam, do not use your full email address as your board username. Remember, this is publicly visible. We have, in the past, deleted these accounts to protect you from yourself. Going forward if you want it public, then it will be public.

If you get a notice that your account was deleted then you likely didn't follow directions or we suspected that your account was a spam bot / spammer.

If you registered but then your account is not there, read above. It is most likely that your account was deleted for not following directions.

It can take up to 7 days for your account to be approved as we have to manually review and approve every registration.

So I messaged this seller and told him "Hey ..I'd do $700 your rifles NOT a preban and its missing the bayonet lug non threaded muzzle and that thumbhole stocks came out in 1994 etc". I asked him how he knew it was made in 1987. He tells me he Bought it new in 1987, and has pics of his wife shooting it (with the thumbhole stock) in 87. Also tells me California had thumbhole stocks in 1986. After all that he tells me its sold.

Steyr imported a batch of 2,000-2,500 (sources say slightly different numbers) back in 1982-1983.
They didn't sell well, so they never bothered with a second batch.

1989 happened, and as a result rifles could no longer be imported with a pistol grip, bayo lug, exposed muzzle threads/removable muzzle device, flash hider, or folding/collapseable buttstock.

In 1993, Intrac and later PARS started importing a ban compliant version of the Maadi ARM.
Thumbhole stock, bayo lug shaved off, and either a muzzle nut tack welded over the muzzle threads or just the threads completely machined off (thus a smaller diameter barrel).
These seemed to stop around 1995, and then around 1997 Century picked up Maadi imports.

They began with the MISR, which was identical to the PARS without muzzle threads.
Then 1998 happened, and the ATF with support from the White House added the ability to feed from 'high cap' magazines to the list of evil banned features.

This resulted in Century's MISR-10, which used single stack magazines.
Finally, they released the MISR-SA, which was like the Romanian SAR-1. It was sold with a pistol grip, military stock, and could feed from standard mags again; this all at the cost of having 5 USA made parts for 922(r).

It seems like Maadi imports stopped coming in around 2000-2001. This is just a guess though. Does anyone have a firm date for the last ones?
I know you could still see them NIB in stores back then and into 2002 maybe, but by the time the SAR-1 switched into the WASR-10 in 2003, seems like most all of the MISRs were gone from the new primary market.

Oh and not even going to mention that thing....the MISR-90....well shit, I just did, shit shit shit lol.
